Science

Through hands-on experiments, content reading, discussion, and
writing, fifth graders are encouraged to think as scientists. Students
design their own experiments, make hypotheses, carry out experiments and
reflect on their learning through writings and discussions. We have
in-depth conversations and students learn to express their thinking
clearly, logically and utilize evidence to support their thinking.

Topics covered in fifth grade science include:

Simple Machines

Electricity and Magnetism

Review of Rocks and Minerals; Plants and Photosynthesis; Water Cycle; Life Cycles; Ecosystems; Solar System
